Another Wayne McCullough triumph.
For those who follow these things Wayne designed a 1/48 Gun Carrier Mark I a while ago but it didn't have a gun. He has been working to fix that.
I've just finished the beta build of a 1/50 6inch 26cwt howitzer which will fit
in the Gun Carrier. I've built it as a standalone piece. There are a few, very minor, problems with the model but the result is outstanding (not my build - the design).
There are more goodies with the model - a pair of wheel extensions (these were fitted for use on soft ground) - a set of girdles (wooden shoes wrapped around the wheels to handle soft mud).
For those of you artillery challenged - the 26 hundredweight (cwt) was introduced into service in 1916. It proved to be reliable and highly effective. The howitzer stayed in service until WW2 and wasn't finally removed from service until 1945. First image is a WW1 6inch howitzer.
Regards,
Charlie
